   It seems so, according to Jeff. The one that briefly transformed into a   
   Gaelic-rock band that sang in Gaelic, featured an extra woman banging a   
   single drum, and where Maddy Prior went through plastic surgery to   
   attain a very strong jawline and, in the process, resemble American   
   actress Rene Russo. Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

   I honestly can't remember. I get the impression it was current (or, at   
   least, not very old). It may have been sourced from some sort of Gaelic   
   music review on UK television at the time. The clip itself begins at the   
   start of the song and cuts off two minutes later (it was right at the   
   end of the tape. Typical.). No announcer or any on-screen graphics. It's   
   very frustrating. They do a good job of the song, and I'd like to   
   explore any recorded work they've done.   
      
   PS   
   It's not Steeleye Span. Just in case anyone's in any doubt.
